nowPlaying

If you're an avid Amarok user and want a plugin to instantly display the song you're currently playing, nowPlaying is the perfect solution for you. Installing it is a breeze: extract the archive and edit nowPlaying.sh to add your personal key at line 3 and the URL you want to host your picture at line 4. Don't forget to save and make sure it's executable.

Next, edit index.php in the nowPlaying directory and add your personal key at line 11. Save and repack nowPlaying.sh with the name *.amarokscript.tar.gz. You can easily add this script by navigating to Amarok > Tool > Scripts manager > Add *.amarokscript.tar.gz and running the script.

To complete the installation process, add a picture named 'signature.png' in the nowPlaying directory and upload the whole folder to your chosen URL, ensuring that you chmod 0777 to this folder. After running a track and waiting for 15 seconds, simply go to your URL/index.php to enjoy.

It's worth noting that index.php is considered as an image and can be displayed with BBcode or HTML tags such as [img][/img]. With its simplicity and ease of use, nowPlaying is definitely worth trying out if you're an Amarok user.
